Abstract

From Koestler to Arendt, the struggle against totalitarianism has also and mainly been conceived as the struggle of memory against oblivion. In Orwell's reflection as well the falsification of history and the manipulation of memory contribute to define more than anything else the profile of the totalitarian threat. Despite Orwell's disbelief in the english intellectuals, he maintained that they could do at least something to resist totalitarianism: writing truthful history.
